    <p>You can edit the questions in an exam that come from a question pool by retracting the exam, making edits, and the republishing the assessment.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> It is not recommended to modify an assessment while testing is in progress as it may cause loss of student data. </p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> You can only update the questions in the random draw for an unpublished copy. Questions in an assessment cannot be updated once the assessment is published. </p>

    <p>Remember, you can only update the questions in the random draw for an unpublished copy of the assessment, since updating the question pool is essentially changing the questions included in the exam. See <a href="content.hlp?docId=howdoieditapublishedassessment">How do I edit a published assessment?</a> for more information on retracting and republishing assessments. </p>
<p>In order to update the pool questions attached to an assessment, you will need to edit the <strong>Draft</strong> exam. If you need to edit the pool questions themselves, see <a href="content.hlp?docId=whatisaquestionpool">What is a question pool?</a></p>
